VISIT OF TOLAGA BAY RUGBY TEAM

REPAYING A VISIT TO KAIERAU CLUB Of interest to Rugby Union followers is the visit tomorrow of a team of Rugby Loptballers from Tolaga Bay, who will play Kaierau, repaying a visit, paid to the Bay last year by the maroons. Kaierau players, who made the trip by lorry at the end of last season, became honoured guests of the Tolaga Bay Union and were treated to a round of entertainment which surpassed the average. Now, the Tolaga Bay players are looking forward to as happy a time in Wanganui, The side which is coming here will probably include two Maori All Blacks and lan James, who, playing against Otago when that side was beaten on the East Coast, put up a grand performance on the wing, is likely to be playing either five-eighths or centre for Tolaga Bay. The team is to arrive this evening and will be the guests of the Kaierau Club at the club smoke concert tomorrow night.
